Four years later

As soon as Wen Yuan took back the herbs that the master had dried in the yard, she saw that the sky had completely darkened, and looking at the layers of dark clouds in the sky, Wen Yuan did not dare to delay for a moment, and quickly ran back to Xujia Village.

She has walked this road countless times in the past few years, at the beginning, Cheng Zhi Chengan was not worried that she would come to pick her up, and occasionally the master would send her home when he was not busy, but then she saw that it was not easy for the master to return to the hospital after a trip from afar, so she refused the master to send her back, the master is old, or don't go back and forth, after Xu A-Niang's matter, Wen Yuan can no longer see anyone she cares about fall in front of her.

Through the secret bushes, through the path she explored to go home, Wen Yuan just turned a corner and saw the familiar figure waiting there, and for a while, the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't hide it and ran over quickly, "Brother Zhi, why are you here?" What about Brother Ann? ”

Cheng Zhi quickly stepped down because he saw Wen Yuan's smile just now and because he heard her words, and pretended to be sad and said, "It seems that Nan Nan doesn't want to see me, and wants to see Cheng An, since this is the case, why don't I go back and let Cheng An come now!" ”

Wen Yuan just blushed because Cheng Zhi called her own milk name, obviously in the past two years, even Xu A-Niang said not to call this milk name anymore, but when she heard Cheng Zhi's later words, she couldn't care about being shy anymore, she wasn't worried that Cheng Zhi would go back and ignore her now, after all, she had come here, no matter what, she would follow him back, but she was worried that Cheng Zhi would not want to come tomorrow.

Just like before, she tugged on Chengzhi's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Okay, Brother Azhi, you're the best, isn't it that I haven't seen you all this time, and now I will be happy when I see you coming?" Brother Zhi, don't be angry! ”

Wen Yuan's words really caught Xu Chengzhi's sycophant, and finally smiled like a grace, but at the same time, she felt guilty because she said that she hadn't seen him for a while, since he went to the private school in the township, he really rarely went home, and she and Cheng'an were busy with things inside and outside the family, and they were indeed a little sorry for them.

Wen Yuan secretly looked at Xu Chengzhi's expression, but there was a bad smile in her heart, she did it on purpose, deliberately made him feel guilty, who let him go for more than two months and not even send a letter back, the family was worried about him, and he had to make him have a long memory, he couldn't let him learn to be a nerd who didn't care about anything, even if he was busy, he couldn't forget his family, let alone forget her.

As soon as Xu Chengzhi and Wen Yuan walked into the courtyard, they heard the familiar coughing sound in the house, and the two of them almost simultaneously put away their smiles and entered the house worriedly.

In the house, Xu A-Niang was leaning on the head of the bed and chatting with Cheng An, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, although her face was haggard, but her eyes were full of smiles, seeing the two children coming in, Xu A-Niang said busily, "Don't worry about A-Niang, just heard Cheng An tell a joke, just drank two more sips of water, choked and coughed twice, there is Dr. Sun's medicine, and Yuanyuan has been conditioning for me, there is really no problem." ”

Xu Chengzhi and Wen Yuan didn't cough again when they saw that Xu A-Niang said such a bunch of words, and seeing that A-Niang's face was really good, they naturally believed what she said.

Since Chengzhi experienced another exam in the past two years, Su Fuzi asked Tan Yan to go and send Cheng Zhi and Su Qiyun to a prestigious private school in the township, although Su Fuzi can teach them again, but after all, the children in the village are of different ages and their levels are uneven, Su Fuzi is really worried that only one of his masters is really limited in energy, which may delay them, after all, compared with the school in this village, the private school in the township is more formal, and the level of the students is more uniform.

But in this way, Chengzhi is far away from home, and he can only come back when he is off school, and the last time Chengzhi came back was more than two months ago, and it was also because Xu A-Niang was seriously ill and Chengzhi asked for leave to come back.

At that time, Wen Yuan was anxious and worshiped Dr. Sun, who she often visited, and fortunately, Mrs. Su watched Xiao Nannan's learning progress at her there before she generously let her go.

Later, under the treatment of Dr. Sun and Wen Yuan, Xu A-Niang's condition gradually improved, and at that time, Cheng'an was already able to take charge on his own, so Chengzhi also went to the private school in the township with confidence.

However, Xu A-Niang's illness is the result of so many years of accumulation, but it is difficult to get better completely, it is difficult for them to really feel at ease with Chengzhi and Cheng'an, and every time they see Xu A-Niang's haggard appearance, they are worried.

Xu A-Niang looked at the expressions of the three children and said with a smile, "Chengzhi has a rare trip back, and when Ming'er A-Niang is in good spirits, I'll cook you what you like to eat, I'm greedy!" ”

Cheng Zhi looked at Xu A-Niang like this, and forced the sourness in his heart and smiled reluctantly, "A-Niang, I like to eat everything you make, but I'm not in a hurry at this time, A-Niang, it's important for you to take care of your body." ”

Xu A-Niang didn't know what to think of, looking at the three children in front of her and couldn't help but sigh secretly, what she was most worried about was that her illness had dragged down these children in the past two years.

In order to let Cheng Zhi study with peace of mind, she knew that Cheng An had left the school to do odd jobs outside without telling them, just like a few years ago, when the children were still studying, she also took advantage of the children to go out to take some flexible photos because of the difficult life.

But Cheng'an's child made her feel distressed.

After a long time, Xu A-Niang still looked at Cheng Zhi and said, "It's rare for you to come back, A-Niang wants to talk to you alone!" ”

Xu Chengan and Wen Yuan glanced at each other after listening to Xu A-Niang's words, then walked out and gave the room to Xu A-Niang and Xu Chengzhi.

Wen Yuan closed the door and stood under the eaves looking at the weather that was still cloudy, I don't know when this rain will come down, I think it should be a rare heavy rain, the weather has been too dry in the past two years, it has not rained for a long time, and the fields have not had a good harvest for several years, I just hope that this heavy rain can make the crops in the fields full and not hurt the fields.

Wen Yuan sighed and went into the kitchen to prepare the family's dinner, she didn't know what Xu A-Niang would do with Chengzhi alone, but thinking of some of the meanings revealed by A-Niang Xu occasionally with a long sigh, Wen Yuan guessed whether it would be that thing, but whether it was or not, she thought that her heart would not feel good.

Cheng An looked at Wen Yuan's back and followed him into the silent kitchen to help, in recent years, because of these things at home, Cheng An has become more and more silent, and it is rare to be able to tell a joke to A-Niang today to make her happy.

He looked at the sullen Wen Yuan, thought about it and finally said, "Don't worry too much, some things are the norm in life, and what you can't keep can't be kept after all!" ”

There are some things that Cheng'an has already been mentally prepared for.

Wen Yuan listened to Cheng An's slightly hoarse voice but didn't know what to say, yes, what she couldn't keep after all, even if she didn't want to?

I don't know how long it took, Xu A-Niang's closed door was finally opened, and Xu Chengzhi's face was a little gloomy, and his eyes were a little red, I don't know what Xu A-Niang told him.

They brought dinner to Xu A-Niang's house to eat, Xu A-Niang is not in good spirits and has not been to the yard for a long time, so Cheng'an will only take her out to bask in the sun when the weather is good.

After the three children finished eating, Xu A-Niang, who had long lost her appetite, put down her chopsticks and said, "I just discussed it with your eldest brother, and Mrs. Su came over some time ago and mentioned that she intends to become in-laws with our family. ”

"With whom?" Cheng'an also heard about this for the first time, maybe he wasn't there when Mrs. Su came some time ago, and no one even told him.

He glanced at Wen Yuan, who was also surprised, and didn't ask what he wanted to ask after all.

Xu A-Niang breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Su Meng is the same age as your eldest brother, and seeing that it is time to get married, Mrs. Su discussed with me to settle this matter first!" ”

"Is it to marry a daughter-in-law or to get married?" Several people in the room were silent for a long time, Cheng An looked at Cheng Zhi, who was silent, and Wen Yuan, who had a bad face, and finally couldn't hold his breath in front of these two people and took the lead in speaking.

In those years, there were many people in the village who wanted to marry their family because they felt that the eldest brother had a chance, and even when Xu A-Niang fell ill at the beginning, many women came to the door to take the initiative to take care of Xu A-Niang, but in the past two days, Xu A-Niang's condition has not improved, and those people have disappeared, and even many people will take a detour when they see them, as if they are worried that they will be entangled in their family.

Indeed, although Xu Aniang's illness in the past two years also has Dr. Sun's help and Wen Yuan's active learning, but after a long time, the family still can't bear it, and it is inevitable that there are some foreign debts.

Therefore, in view of the previous situation, Cheng An asked this particularly ironic question like now, Su Meng used to be a famous lady, how could she be willing to marry into their family?

Although the relationship between their family and the Su family is not bad, Cheng An knows that the gap between their family and the Su family is definitely not a star and a half, not to mention that Tan Yan is now working in Linchuan, and his status is close to Di Ze, so everyone knows that the Di family went to the Su family to propose marriage, if they really marry the Su family, aren't they doing the right thing with the Di family?

Their Xu family is just an ordinary people's family, and they don't have that ability at all!

Whether it is Xu A-Niang or Xu Chengzhi, they are not annoyed by Xu Cheng'an's too direct words, they have also considered the things that Cheng'an has considered, no matter which aspect their family is not the best candidate for the Su family.

But thinking of what Mrs. Su said when she came to the door at that time, Xu A-Niang could only sigh helplessly and said, "The Su family told the Di family at that time that Su Meng planned to discuss marriage in three or four years, and now it has been four years, and the Su family has already given the face to the Di family, and with their current status as Tan Yan, I am afraid that even Master Di will have to be polite in the face of Tan Yan, so naturally I will not worry about offending the Di family." ”

"But they're not afraid of offending us, and why are they big brothers?"

If this family matter is really agreed, I am afraid that they will become dazzling in Linchuan in the future, is it possible that when they are bullied by the Di family openly and secretly, can the Su family still come out to help from time to time?

Xu A-Niang listened to Cheng An's question and said slowly, "This is going to ask Ah Zhi!" ”

Xu A-Niang's words fell, except for Xu A-Niang, everyone in the house looked at Cheng Zhi, in fact, Cheng Zhi is also full of bitterness now, in fact, Ah Niang said that he knew, he really didn't know anything, he only knew that seeing that he had also reached the age of discussing relatives, Ah Niang was inevitably anxious, but if he had a relationship with the Su family because of this, it might do more harm than good to their family at this time.

He didn't know why A-Niang said that Su Meng just fell in love with him, he had the impression that he didn't have too much contact with Su Meng, and the only few times were because of Nan Nan or Su Qiyun, and he didn't have any special feelings for Su Meng when he saw him?

Could it be that day......
